RMO – Did you hire an agent or become self-published, and how was that process?
I was living in South Korea and myself and my then neighbour Jessica Perlaza would spend mornings together hiking the Korean mountains … and somehow, the conversation always turned to food.
On one of these memorable mornings, we decided to make a cookbook and that afternoon we found ourselves sitting in Jessica’s tiny kitchen, drawing up a plan over a cup of tea. The kitchens of pinch and dash was born. We self-published in Korea and put all our savings into printing this small ‘zine. It was a grassroots DIY project.
